£32k on a BMW - M3 or M5???

A work colleague is in this precise dilemma, lucky chap.

Would you go for the M3 or a slightly older V10 M5?

Interested to hear informed opinions. Anyone here owned both?

Or an overview into his driving needs, space etc?

Just into BMW's. One 5 year old kid occasionally in the back but the Mrs has her own car.

Likes the odd track day. Likes the idea of the V10 but may prefer the manual box option of the M3.

I know they are quite different but any actual experience shared of both would be helpful..
